Gottheimer Leads Bipartisan AI Safety Push: Mandatory Reviews and China Firewall
Rep. Josh Gottheimer announced two bipartisan AI-safety bills—the American AI Security Act, which would require a 30-day government-led pre-release review of frontier AI models by the NSA, and the China FIREWALL Act, aimed at banning open-weight Chinese AI models on federal devices and blocking related software procurement—as part of a broader Democratic push on AI governance; the day also included Hawley inviting Flock’s CEO to testify on privacy concerns and other Capitol agenda items.
